The evidence that Jesus ever existed is weaker than you might think

44. Not sure where your supposed information comes from

Jesus' allegedly adopted father was allegedly a carpenter which would have made him a tradesman and middle-class as would have been typical for a Jewish tradesman. Jesus allegedly paid taxes and had a treasurer, which suggests he had income from his ministry which was allegedly successful.

Paul never met Jesus unless you count the time the holy poltergeist allegedly whispered in his ear. The best source is actually James, allegedly the brother of Jesus, which we are reasonably sure is a real person and if we assume the Jesus figure existed we can further assume James knew him as a sibling. So in one sense we actually have a 2nd person account from someone we can be reasonably sure was a real person. However, both James and Paul were part of the early church, so if we consider Jesus was mythological both James and Paul (and others) would have profited from perpetuating that myth. That doesn't make for an independent source.
